seat at the Cabinet table he would hardly
resign to enter into contest with his
friend Beck.

WAsHIHGToN. February fSth.-An effort
is being made to secure some concert of
action by the members of the California
delegation ON the question of the appoint
ment of an Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner from the Pacific coast. The delega-

while there has been no disposition on the
part of any of them to disregard this re-
quest, no combined movement has been
made by the Pacific coast Senators and
Representatives in his behalf. There is
some talk of trying to reach an agreement
for the presentation of two names-one
Republican and one Democrat-from
whom the President can, if he chooses
make a selection. The men indorsed by
the entire delegation, if any concerted ac-
ton is reached, will be of character and

The Samoan COnsulship.
WASHINGTON, February 1sth.-The Eng
lish and German Ministers have had a
number of conferences of late with Secre.
tary Bayard regarding the situation of af-
fairs in the Samoan Islands. These gentle
men disclaim any intention on the part OF
their respective Governments to assume a
protectorate over the islands. They have
suggested that, in view of the fact that the
present Consuls at Apia have been more or
less concerned in the internal troubles
there, it would be better to relieve them
and fill their places with new men, who
shall be instructed to attend strictly to their
legitimate duty and leave King Malieto to
manage his affairs unmolested. 1t is also
uof1 in fh.c that no M
sui to Apia will not be Californian, but
that he will be taken from one OF the East
ern States.
